1952 Map of Point Hope C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Arctic Ocean Chukchi Sea dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial world is a narrow strip of northwestern Alaska. Compiled from 1952 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by its dramatic relationship with the water, featuring prominent coastal landmarks like Cape Dyer and Cape Lewis. Rising sharply from the shoreline, Iviangik (Big Ear) Mountain serves as a massive navigational beacon for the region. Numerous drainages, including Siniktaneyak Creek and Kapaloak Cr, cut through the terrain to reach the sea. The mapping represents a moment when photogrammetric methods were beginning to capture these remote coastlines with new precision, documenting the reach of the Kilikralik Creek near Kilikralik Pt before modern environmental shifts altered the northern shores.
